✣Vatican breaks silence on McCarrick case
What happened? Pope Francis has ordered a “thorough study” of Vatican files relating to Archbishop Theodore McCarrick, the Holy See said on Saturday. It comes more than a month after Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò alleged Pope Francis had ignored sanctions imposed by Benedict XVI against McCarrick. The next day a letter was released from Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, attacking Viganò, saying Viganò’s charges “cannot come from the Spirit of God”.
